ROLIM DE HOLANDA, Eliane et al. Response to pharmacological and clinical compliance monitoring of HIV-exposed children. av.enferm. [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.3, pp.356-365. Epub 01-Dez-2021. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v39n3.87987.
Objective:
To establish the degree of pharmacological and clinical compliance of family caregivers of HIV-exposed children as well as the sociodemographic factors associated with care performance.
Materials and methods:
Cross-sectional study conducted with 40 caregivers of children exposed to HIV and under specialized care service. The Ability Assessment Scale for the Care of HIV-exposed Children was used. Data were analyzed according to descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.
Results:
Caregivers' high ability for drug administration and clinical monitoring of HIV-exposed children was verified. There was a statistically significant difference between the care ability and infants' age. In the group with high care ability, there was a higher prevalence of young mothers with partners, unemployed, high school equivalent education, living with four to seven people, and receiving family support.
Conclusion:
Health services should consider sociodemographic factors and family support in the follow-up of HIV-exposed children by developing an expanded care plan and longitudinal interventions aimed at monitoring the ability of family caregivers to provide medication and clinical follow-up for children. Incorporating these strategies will contribute to improve pharmacological and clinical adherence of HIV-exposed children and to enhance the quality of health care.
